Jess's story makes no sense.

1. If it's how she says it is .... why would Zola EVER want to bring any version of this story to light? She was the one who started this yet in Jess's story she's the one with the most to lose.

2. Jess already validated the story in away. Her comment on it didn't deny anything, stated that she had made mistakes in the past and didn't need to be reminded of it and all that. Yet in her version she made NO mistakes other than befriending Zola ...

3. She's apparently not trapping in her story yet "Z" is a tag along in her story who is clearly a pimp who Zola didn't bring. Why would you have a Pimp in your party if you're not trapping?

4. If Zola's version is to be believed then it makes sense as to why Jess would want to leave out the crazier bits. She and Z's waifu had to turn on him to get outta the jam in Vegas and play stupid. I her story she doesn't even try to explain who Z is.

Been on teamreal from the start and even if some parts are exaggerated Jess's side is clearly a lie. Seems more likely that Z lied about shooting the guy in the face given we know that a shoot out happened in a hotel with a victim who didn't die but doesn't want to talk to cops.

This. Her initial reaction to Zola breaking the story is pretty damning. There was no denial, just "stop reminding me of that!" And her response to the Tampa shooting is flimsy at best. The details from that article almost match Zola's side perfectly.

I do like how they both claim Jarret is crazy as hell, though. Dude can't catch a break!

Michael Cera is the only right answer for Jarret. Jesse eisenburg would maybe be a decent substitute.

I think the only point of Jesse Eisenberg in general is to be a substitute Michael Cera.

Hahahahahaha, AMAZING!

Since Eisenberg is more successful, Michael Cera is now his substitute.

C'mon, Jesse, if you're gonna astroturf there are better places than GAF.

 

[Brakke]

This whole business of investigating the story and figuring out if it's real sucks. Totally orthogonal to why this story hit in the first place. Boring!

The whole "it should be a movie" doesn't come out of this story being wild or inconceivable. All kinda movies have stories wilder and twistier than this.

"Is it real" is a footnote. A coda at best.

C'mon, Jesse, if you're gonna astroturf there are better places than GAF.

You caught me! Make sure to see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice on March 25, 2016!

Then make sure to see my follow-up film, tentatively titled Luthor, which portrays me as an antihero and I join the Justice League!

On topic: This story still makes my head spin. #TeamReal

 

[Geneijin]

It's real? Damn. Amazing what transpires in 2 days. Crazy.

 

[Premium Quality]

I'm all aboard the movie hype train as long as Indris Elba and Michael Cera are involved.

 

[Consumer]

I'm not sure what's crazier: the story, or fact that I actually read the entire thing.
My only comment is that Jarrott is an idiot for the following reasons:

1. Dated a stripper/ex-prostitute
2. Threatened suicide in an attempt to assert control
3. Attempted suicide from a 4-story building, where he might survive
4. ...Got stuck in the process

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Team Zola. Jess is just trying to clear her name with her story. You can see right through it.

Yep, it's very reactionary. Even though Zola has the crazier story, Jess' makes less sense. Plus Jess is saying this with all eyes on her, Zola was just posting a crazy story that she had already told her friends before and it unexpectedly went viral.

This doesn't really match up with what Zola said. She said she heard one gunshot and that the dude got shot in the face. This said he was shot multiple times and survived.

she said she was TOLD the dude was shot in the face.

Zola was outside the room according to her story. What happened inside was told to her by Z.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

she said she was TOLD the dude was shot in the face.

True but she only heard one gunshot. If there were multiple gunshots she would have heard them.

The article also says that the shooter knocked on the door and then fired shots through the window.

According to Zola dred man opened the door a let Z in the room. She saw this happen.

How do we know the police details are even right? It says in the article the man didn't cooperate with police.

The police don't need him to cooperate to know that he fired multiple shots through the window and none from inside the room.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Never doubted Zola for a minute. Besides in Jess' story she said Zola had a nappy wig on...I mean Zola posted pictures people. Nappy? Hell to the no, wig? Hell to the no.

Fuck outta here Jess!

Didnt she have a gun? She was outside the window...

Zola was the one who shot through the window.. Mystery solved!

We know Zola looks better than Jess. Jess making more money than Zola could happen, but Zola making so little is unrealistic.

 

[psynergylover]

This is too much lol!!!

Alright I read this story the first day it was posted. I wondered why this thread kept going. Anyone care to detail the updates AFTER the main story ended?

Not really. Jess made $5,000+ from trap...tric... having sex with men for $500 minimum. All Zola made was the $800 from stripping when they first got there. On it's on Zola did pretty well for a slow night, but put that next to someone who fucked you if you paid them with the starting price being $500? Yea you're amount for the night is going to look a little sad.

i think you are confusing 'idiot' w/ lucky af, bro And let's not pretend Jess isn't cute for a stripper/hoe.

lots of doubt of the veracity of Zola's Tale lead to internet sleuthing and confirmation of many things, like Jess commenting initially + her Instagram being found. The latest bit of news is someone found an article on a hotel shooting that matches Zola's story almost perfectly adding further confirmation...

I was speaking in terms of Jess' story that Zola made nothing stripping while she did oK and that no one would pay for Zola.

 

[freeofgreed]

People found details which may give the story validation and people who were involved in the story were ID and started to give their versions of what happened.

Zola got $800 for stripping and then "Z" gave her another $500. $1300 is a good haul considering Jess got nothing because of "rent."

Zola too hot in those pics to make $1 like Jess claimed. And then Jess says that's why she wanted to trap, because she didn't make anything

 

[Quazar]

Nothing has been validated in my eyes. Even the text messages from jarret cause even more suspicion now. Seems like he has an alterior motive in getting kid so he's just rolling with the tale.

Don't use words you don't know the meaning of. It makes you sound ignorant.

 

[Seasoned Badger]

So this guy that got busted for human-trafficking is named Keith “Smurf” Hamlet. Smurf...zzzzmurf....z, I can totally see why Zola would think his name started with a "Z."

edit: nevermind the real "z" was identified as Akporode Uwedjojevwe with his arrest record posted. He got nicked in Neveda, another point to Zola!!

Well if Mr. Aye Dee says so. Even he says Zolas full of shit.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised GAF has a lot of dudes who'll believe whatever a stripper tells them.

 

[Scoot2005]

Thanks for the update GAF. Dayum the world is a odd place.

You're an idiot.

 

[sometimes i game]

Both of these strippers (and possibly more) want to make themselves look innocent and above the lifestyle, so we can't trust either side.

In Zola's story she is observing / providing expert strategy the whole time, never doing anything shady.

In Jess' story she was successful at dancing and Zola did all the shady stuff.

Logic says they were both dancing and prostituting and want to pin it all on the other person. Zola knows too much about backpage and stuff, Jess was riding with a pimp, they're all traveling together to make money, they were all prostituting and neither story is 100% true.

 

[HeelPower]

So how is Z rich when he couldn't even do better than then three dudes at $100 each that night ? He didn't even know about the Backpage website ?

Like wot.

And Zola is an amazing writer.She utilized twitter to tell a complex story in a really engaging way.
